-Amazing Global Response to US initiated Earth Day Celebration
And, Grand Opening of Bamboo Baby Boutique in Andover MN!

Cloth diapers have come a long way in the past ten years. Sarah Van Bogart, owner and creator of SoftBums Reusable Diapers, caught onto that right away when she went to look for alternative diapering options for her baby. They come in a multitude of colors and fun prints, and have elastic legs, and Velcro closures, just like a disposable! So easy to use, but even better than that, they save parents a ton of money, and help keep about 10,000 diapers out of the landfill per baby! Sarah wanted an easy to use alternative for parents that they could count on not to leak.

With a goal in mind, she and her husband Brian have built this business up from nothing, and now they send diapers all over the world! Diapering babies in cloth is better for baby because there are no chemicals, and better for the Earth. Starting off sewing in her basement on weekends, lead to selling diapers to friends, and neighbors, and then led to a website. After literally hundreds of prototypes and patterns, the Adjustable Leg Elastic SoftBums diaper was born! This diaper has little toggles hidden inside that size the legs of the diaper to custom fit your baby for NO LEAKS!

Now, on April 23rd, My Bamboo Baby Boutique is opening 13720 Lincoln St NE, Andover, MN 55304.

There you'll find SoftBums Cloth Diapers, Baby carriers, wetbags, pail liners, diaper sprayers, wooden toys, diaper bags, and LOTS more!

We will also be hosting a worldwide event called The Great Cloth Diaper Change on April 23rd at 10am as well. With Raffles, snacks, games, and more! Hope to see you there!

More about The Great Cloth Diaper Change:

An event, called the Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011, already creating buzz not only in North America, but all over the world, will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2011 in locations all around the globe. The Great Cloth Diaper Change (http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com) will set a world record for the most cloth diapers ever changed simultaneously.

Parents, child birth educators, lactation consultants, pediatricians and environmentally responsible businesses agree that it is not environmentally or financially justified to continue sending billions of disposable diapers to landfills every year where it will take at least 500 hundred years for them to decompose. Heather McNamara, of the Real Diaper Association, says that "our local volunteers are finding growing numbers of parents coming to find out about cloth diapers, whether it be for environmental, financial, or health reasons - - or even because these diapers are just plain cute!" It is the hope of the organizers that this event will be an eye opener and an inspiration for expecting and new parents to use cloth diapers, a more planet friendly alternative that also saves parents substantial money.

• Date and Time is Saturday, April 23 at 10AM Central Time ‐ which means that on a global level some CD enthusiasts will gather and do the diaper change in the middle of the night. Exact information is available on a local level so that all participants, no matter where they live, can find the appropriate location and time.
• A multitude of locations will be available for families all over the U.S and around the globe, across the ocean, in Europe, Australia, and the list keeps growing. Parents, care givers, educators, retailers, playgroups, day care centers - anybody can apply to become an organizer and host a location.
• This event is part of a larger (and growing) movement. Participants may contribute $1 (or more) at all North American events to benefit the Real Diaper Association, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to help families across the U.S. and Canada find and use reusable cloth diapers.

How it all started
The Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011 was initially a way to show our country and the world that cloth diapers are a real option for today's families. After initial contacts with Guinness World Records™ we saw the potential to help further enhance the cloth diapering movement, while setting a world record. The response has been above and beyond expectations. It is evident that cloth diapering has a formidable following not just in North America, but truly around the world. What better way to celebrate Earth Day 2011?
